A few years ago, my life came to a complete halt. I went from being a confident, successful, and outgoing person to a complete wreck, scared of my own shadow and unable to leave the house with crippling anxiety and panic dissorder.

This blog began as part of my recovery. I started sharing what I was going through with close friends and family on social media, and I was overwhelmed by how many people had experienced their own battles with anxiety and panic attacks.

At the time, I wasn’t well enough to help anyone else, but I kept sharing my journey, the struggles and victories. Now, as I continue to rebuild my life, I want to use what I’ve learned in my recovery to help others find hope, healing, and a way forward.

The following blogs detail my journey from my first panic attack to being diagnosed with severe anxiety and panic disorder and my journey to recovery.

When first diagnosed with anxiety I felt so lost and confused which made my suffering worse, I hope through blogging I'm able to share the lessons I've learnt along the way so that others can learn to recover too and know they are not alone.
